Yep, people who will happily send them to die, or murder them for convenience.While that is true, they can do it through elections. Then other people enforce it for them. See how this works?
I saw 5, maybe 6 of them when they were in alignment last year.Went out to the Refuge west of Lawton with my rifle and used my Ziess scope. Even at lowest power I couldnt get them all in at once so I switched to bino's. Really impressive.
I'm wondering what the 2 axe men are standing on and how they got it in the tree to start with
Thank you. Gotta be GOOD with a good axe to cut a slot like that I bet.They’re called spring boards and they axe cut the slots for them..

Another good question to ask

Good way to draw back a nub !
Amazing !!View attachment 8730980
When they cut this one they did it 50' up the trunk.
3,000 year old tree. Was cut down as a 100 year celebration of the country.
Never been out there but is on my bucket list to see one day.Amazing !!
I ran the Avenue of the Giants Marathon a few years ago. Never had as many “Wows and Damns” in my life. Stayed at Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Blown away by the beauty and size of the trees. Running Big Sur was equally as cool , just a total different vibe.
If Cali wasn’t so effed up , I’d move there in a minute.
2nd from the left seems to be trying to ignore the Orca.
FAFO in the making.
I’ve read about multiple reasons. No personal experience here..Any idea why they cut them so high, seems like it wastes a lot of board feet of prime lumber.
The large nuts help keep them in place.Wow! I figured the slots would have to be way deeper than that to allow somebody to stand on the board

Also note that MLK is giving a Seig Heil… but I thought everyone said he was a Communist?? Who knew?

Reasonable. I never ran nto any resin build up that affected my cutting but I never cut Redwoods. I can see the idea about flare, but the phot in question doesnt seem to have that. There's a Face book site that shows a lot of timber falling, I'll ask there.I’ve read about multiple reasons. No personal experience here..
Grain compression and resin buildup making cutting more difficult, but this one makes the most sense to me…. They would cut above the flare at ground level so the log would be mill ready and not require any additional trimming to process it.
But “muh dream!”He was a Commie and Socialist and a woman abuser and an all around sexual degenerate.
I've been to the Humbolt park as well, absolutely stunning.Amazing !!

I'm with you, if Cali werent so fucked up politically I'd live there. The most geographically diverse and beautiful state in our nation.I had a friend that lived in a small town named Gualala right on the coast N of San Francisco. Only place not on a hill was their little air strip. I got to run across the Golden Gate Bridge both ways , kinda cool
Once you get north of there , it gets really beautiful. I will go back someday.
Must be Door Dash, coming right to the house.Boots, belt, hatband and an expensive purse right there. Plus gator bites, Gator steaks and gator jerky... right on the hoof!

That's correct. Cut above what they called the pistol butt because it didn't make dimensional lumber and also interfered with skidding and hauling. A more modern reason it's done is to get above the level where metal intrusion, such as old fence, is likely.I’ve read about multiple reasons. No personal experience here..
